Kyrie Irving will remain with the Mavericks for a near future. Irving should sign an extension of $ 119 million over three years with Dallas, Per Shams Charania d’Espn. Irving rehabilitates his torn ACL that he suffered in March, but he obtained at least long-term security beyond the next 2025-26 season. The former Celtics goalkeeper refused his option as a player of $ 43 million for next season to sign the extension.
The Mavericks are in an interesting place as a franchise despite the moving star Luka Doncic at the Lakers on the deadline of last season. Lottery bullets are improbable as they land the n ° 1 choice in the Draft NBA to come in 2025. It means native Maine Cooper Flagg should be the next star of the franchise.
As part of Doncic’s trade, the MAVs obtained Anthony Davis. Dallas could be a potential candidate in playoffs, although IRVING should miss an important part of next season. Irving, 33, collected an average of 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 50 games last season before dropping with injury.
Irving was exchanged from Nets to Mavs in February 2023, where he was to be a running mate alongside Doncic. The duo worked well while the MAVs reached the NBA 2024 final, falling in five games to the Celtics. Despite this, the Dallas front office has chosen to negotiate Doncic in Los Angeles anyway. But now the MAVs could get a new face of the franchise in Flagg to associate alongside veterans like Irving and Davis.
